whole wheat and sugar help

I know this is going to seem like a dumb question, but is a whole wheat taco shell just as bad as whole wheat bread. I found a lot of high protein recipes but a common item is whole wheat taco shells. Thanks in advance!~

You could make the case the whole wheat taco shell or bread is worse than it's demonized white counterpart

I'm so confused by this question..... explain "just as bad"

Well read this one thing that said if you're trying to lose weight to stay away from whole wheat bread, but then got these recipes for high protein that call for whole wheat taco shells. Just wondering if the same principle applies to the whole wheat taco shell. Im a little confused myself hence the reason I asked lol!

it probably meant "stay away from bread"

the differences between white, brown, wholemeal etc are pretty small. The elephant in the room is the carbohydrate and gluten content.

Since when is whole wheat bread bad? No food is "bad." Eat the damn taco shell and stop demonizing carbs.

I am also confused about why whole wheat is supposedly bad. Unless you have celiac or some kind of gluten intolerance, it's fair game. Whole wheat will sometimes have more calories than white, so maybe that will be the deciding factor.

UMMM....Yeah I wasn't "demonizing" carbs.. Just asked a simple question. But thanks for your helpful comment! Not all carbs are created equal just as not all sugars are crated equal...
